Australia wins toss and will bowl in 4th T20 vs Sri Lanka

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Australia captain Aaron Finch won the toss and decided to put Sri Lanka in to bat in the fourth Twenty20 match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday.

The home side made multiple changes after having wrapped up the five-match series with a win in Canberra on Tuesday.

Fast bowler Jhye Richardson plays his first game of the series, with fast bowlers Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood resting before the test tour of Pakistan beginning in early March.

Legspinner Adam Zampa returns to the lineup after sitting out the last match.

Australia won the first game by 20 runs and the second in a Super Over in Sydney on Sunday after the scores were level at the end of the regulation overs. Australia won the third game by six wickets on Tuesday in Canberra.
